Congratulations to our very own Mr. Jess Rother on being named a recipient of the NSAA Champions for Coaches award!

Central Valley is lucky to have Coach Rother as a coach and a passionate, caring, and committed teacher. As his nominator wrote: "He gives the best motivational speeches. He is known for his intensity and high expectations, but those expectations are always grounded in love, respect, and genuine care. He challenges students and athletes because he believes in them. His humor, his unforgettable football phrases, and his ability to connect with kids make him someone students and athletes respect, trust, and want to make proud. "

Congrats again, Mr. Rother! We are proud of you!

This morning, CVE was filled with creativity during our annual Decorating with Dad event! Dads and other family members joined students in classrooms to design and create Valentine’s Day containers for this afternoon’s parties. Thank you to everyone who took time out of their morning to be part of such a fun tradition at CVE!

The elementary school officially kicked off One Book, One School today, featuring The One and Only Ivan. To launch the initiative, our 6th grade students prepared and performed a Reader’s Theater based on the book for the entire school. Over the next month, classroom teachers will continue reading the story with their students while engaging them in comprehension questions and fun, meaningful activities. Let the reading adventure begin!

CENTRAL VALLEY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Public Statement on All-American Publishing
January 29th, 2026

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Central Valley Public Schools’ Administration recently became aware of solicitations that some local businesses and patrons have received from a company called All-American Publishing. This company’s solicitations ask the recipient if they “would be interested in supporting Central Valley High School” by being represented on T-shirts that this company claims will be worn by students, faculty, and parents at all community events and during games.

We are concerned that All-American Publishing’s solicitations risk misleading our patrons into believing that a financial payment to this company will ultimately benefit the school district. That is not the case.

The school district does not have any contractual relationship with All-American Publishing. All-American Publishing does not make financial contributions to the school district.

We hope this statement clarifies the situation. If you have further questions, please contact Central Valley High School’s Principal Kimbrie Vlach at (308) 428-3145.
